And I still find that there are several times when I still feel like I'm struggling in the real world from my experiences growing up in the system. And yoga has been that tool that has been able to pull me out of some of those really dark paths in my life. So I'm super excited about this. To share and spread their mission, spread their word

I wanted to thank you for this particular post because I have such connection to this. As someone who used to perform in prisons in Northern California a lot, I connected to a lot of different populations. But what moved me most in life was a film I saw in the late 90s, maybe early two thousand s, and I know it's on YouTube. I'm going to find it and give everybody a link

We had a couple of folks that were there that actually, when we were doing the shavasana sort of part of it, were like in actual tears and hadn't cried in that way in a really long, long time. And so what it felt like and what it seemed to me, was that it became this really cool cathartic experience for releasing some of that trauma and what she was feeling. And so I just applaud you and encourage you

@nikkiakparewa, what a beautiful story!

I'd love to connect with your friend and see how we can continue to collaborate and spread the word and mission to get more yoga programs in the prisons and jails throughout the globe. We just have to get a lot of people behind and we can get a lot of momentum around that. So thank you so much for spreading the word. It
